Highlights of Reader’s Digest August 2019, issue: In India, there are any number of situations that leave us exasperated—things that don’t, or won’t, work, people who will be flaky, rude, fib casually, break queues and the law. But ultimately we desis are known for our dil, camaraderie and sense of humour. This month, we celebrate the very things that make us ‘Incurably Indian’ with a hilarious essay and a stack of reader-contributed anecdotes of quirky, bizarre, yet heartwarming incidents that can happen only in India.  This issue is filled with inspiration too—‘Pay it Forward’ profiles five extraordinary givers who have pledged half of their wealth to charitable causes; ‘Mightier Than The Sword’ tells the amazing survival saga of Dalit writer Manoranjan Byapari; ‘The Road to Lahore’ explores a vibrant city filled with old-world charm in a new-age garb. As always, favourites like Laughter, Drama and Bonus Read will keep you hooked. Enjoy August!
